... if you really want to run this then it's probably worth giving e.g. '-j
10' to nix-build to parallelize downloads and execution, and also to test
from the stable branch of nix instead of the master branch (git clone -b
1.11-maintenance ...).

Note: Nix CI is also able to distribute builds across many machines
automatically. This can make the big multiplatform builds and tests fast. I
usually work with a Nix CI that has ~ 20 build machines and this lets us do
nice things like run a machine-week of benchmark regression tests
overnight. But I digress... :-)
